From a tiny office at Holy Trinity School in Casco to its facility along Highway 54, Sarah Nelson has seen first hand the ability to touch the lives of area students after 19 years as the Northeast Wisconsin Technical College- Luxemburg Regional Learning Center Manager. Tuesday marks the final day for the retiring Nelson, who helped oversee a number of initiatives including the collaboration of Kewaunee County schools to form the Ahnapee Regional Technical Academy. Nelson is proud of her time at the center, saying it was important for her to always be an advocate for the students.

As NWTC decides on her replacement, Nelson says she has no definitive plans for retirement yet other than helping with her parents and playing grandma to her grandkids.
